Something is very wrong in town
A friend has vanished, the lights flicker in strange patterns, and the local lab is hiding something it shouldn’t. The alphabet on the wall is trying to tell you something — if you can read it in time.
You have sixty minutes to piece together the clues, work the control room and bring your friend home. A thrilling, nostalgia-soaked 80s adventure — tense and atmospheric, but never a horror show.
